It's About To Get So Much Easier To Watch HBO

The Huffington Post reports:

For years, the only way to get HBO in the U.S. was to subscribe to an expensive pay TV package -- or, more recently, to (ahem) “borrow” an HBO Go password from a friend or family member who subscribed.

But soon, you’ll have many more ways to get HBO: through Apple devices; with Sling TV, Dish’s new Internet TV service; or perhaps even via your Internet provider.

This month, HBO will launch HBO Now, a standalone streaming service that will let you watch the network’s shows on a range of devices whenever you like. It won’t be a live stream of the HBO schedule you’d see on cable or satellite TV, but the network’s programming will become available on the new service when it airs live on TV. (In other words, HBO Now will be similar to HBO Go, the streaming service that's been out for years, minus the need for a cable or satellite subscription.)

The grow in choice.
